Five things I learned from 630 days of writing online

LessWrong contributor domelian shared reflections from six hundred thirty days of daily online writing. The piece distills five practical lessons for aspiring creators. First: you don't need answers to start writing—questions work just as well. Second: practice trains you to spot ideas everywhere—in conversations, books, random thoughts. Third: capture ideas wherever they hit, not just at a scheduled writing session. Fourth: let some ideas sit in your head before publishing; they often become clearer over time. And fifth: don't worry about finding a niche before you start—begin with two or three topics you already think about deeply, and see what still feels interesting after twenty or thirty pieces. The broader insight: becoming a prolific thinker is less about having the perfect topic and more about consistent practice and curiosity.
